I purchased this product for my niece for Christmas who is 2 years and 1 month old. It is very unique and super cute she loved it and so did her parents. It is exactly the product in picture. It was a great price with free fast shipping highly recommended
I really like that you can see the chicks hatch but the alarm is driving me crazy. I like to dry hatch until day 18 and can't do it with this because the alarm keeps going off. I wish I knew how to shut off the alarm and it would be perfect.
So far it is working well nice, that the temp is all preset! I will only be using for incubating and hatching in a different one as i can see lots of problems trying to clean this one after hatching in it! I love that the heating element and fan are on the bottom so much better than trying to force heat down. But there again try to clean the heating element and fan after the egg waste from hatching runs down on it! But for the hatching and turning It looks awesome!
I'm gona to write about what i dont like about it. truner mounts stay in incubator making it hard to take it out of incubator .all your taking out is trays that hold eggs , its only held together on one side with guide that moves it .the motor stays in incubator. if there is a power loss you have to trun it back on
I waited until I ran my first cycle before writing a review. The end result is 24 eggs placed and 24 hatched for a 100% hatch rate. (Chicken eggs)
Was extremely easy to keep humidity right and temp was never a problem. Add 3 bucks for a warntey and it can't be beat for the price.
I highly recommend this for even the newest to hatching.
I have two of these and they do all that they r suppose to. My hatch rate is 98% which is really good for the price i pay for this. I recommend this item to all of my extended family, which is why i'm purchasing this item again. They have't had any success with the expensive units they've purchased else where and have pretty much given up hope of incubating eggs. I usually help them set these up and give a short tutorial on how to use these and handle them. They will break if not handled or used ...I have two of these and they do all that they r suppose to.

I usually help them set these up and give a short tutorial on how to use these and handle them. They will break if not handled or used correctly, also don't trust the temp gage, use a seperate measuring system for the most accurate reading. If your depending on the unit to do all the work you will not have a good hatch rate.
Was very hesitant to buy this at the price. But have to say it is worth the money. The directions for use could be better, they really do not give you operating instructions. As soon as I plugged it in the temps were preset. Keeps awesome temp. Great for a small hatch, no need to fire up my big incubator. Well worth the money.
I really like this product. I left the Styrofoam on the bottom half for more insulation. I didn't use the top half of the Styrofoam as it would block the air holes and I wouldn't be able to monitor the temp and humidity at a glance without lifting the lid, however, I think I will cut out a little in those two areas and see how it works. The only problem I can see, is the instructions are hard to understand. Just put a cup of water in, keep the humidity around 55 (that is what mine set naturall ...I really like this product.

The only problem I can see, is the instructions are hard to understand. Just put a cup of water in, keep the humidity around 55 (that is what mine set naturally to, I think,), set the heat on 37.7 Celsius, since it doesn't have Fahrenheit, and check occasionally. On the 18th day, unplug the wires and it will quit turning the eggs or put the egg holding side of an egg carton on top of the egg rack and put the 18 day eggs in it. That way you can keep putting eggs in from various days. I am buying another today as a backup, just in case. I have owned about a month and a half and next week will get my second batch of chickies hatched. Pleased as pudding.
Got this baby in and hooked it up. Turned it on, nothing.. Was very upset at first, decided to get the voltmeter out to figure out what was going on. Upon inspection with the voltmeter I determined that even though the power cord had no visible marks the neutral wire was broken somewhere. Found an old computer monitor cord lying around and wouldn't you know it it's the same kind of plug (what luck) so I plugged the cord I found into it and it runs like a champ!!! Great little machine for the pri ...Got this baby in and hooked it up. Turned it on, nothing.. Was very upset at first, decided to get the voltmeter out to figure out what was going on.

So if you decide to order and it doesn't work before you waste your time sending it back get out the voltmeter and check the cord or if you have a spare monitor cord like I did just plug it in and see if it works.
